On July 11 Peter and I decided to make a life changing decision in the direction of our health and what we eat. We bought this book called: The 4 Hour Body. If you are interested in the guide lines for this diet, I will list them below.
What we CAN'T eat.
1. Wheat, Rice and oats.
2. Milk and Cheese.
3. Sugar, Honey ect.
4. Fruit (except for tomatoes and avocados).
What we CAN eat.
1. Veggies of any kind.
2. Meat(fish, chicken, beef...)
3. Water.
4. Beans.
5. Cottage Cheese, Plain Yogurt and Eggs.
You are suppose to eat the things listed above for 6 days, every 4 hours and then on the 7th day you pig out and eat what ever you are craving that day (of course while also doing some work out routines and drinking lots of caffeine). I have been having a fun time thinking up and creating some yummy meals. Of course this is no easy task with a husband who needs food for at least 4 meals while he has duty and all we eat is fresh food now.
Here are some pictures of some meals that we have been enjoying! If you have any questions on how we are doing with this diet or our progress feel free to contact me personally. Please check out the book at your local library if it does interest you.
